Default Beefing up 1/4 inch socket switches

The third amp in 3 days all requiring attention to quarter inch sockets of
one sort or another.
Can anyone put a generic or maker's name to this compact axial type
http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:gra...et/quarter.jpg
no info of any sort on the socket.
This one from an Ashdown effects return with dodgy bypass switch.
There are 2 places in the plastic body that drilling through coincides with
holes in the metalwork almost as though designed to wrap some silicone
rubber cordage (blue in pics) around the switches to increase the closure
force, located in place by curves in the contact parts. Then cleaning the
contacts.
Tip contact to the left and ring contact at bottom of first image.
